Our Kennel

We are in our kennel 7 days a week but only schedule appointments Monday through Saturday call or e-mail to schedule:

We are an Illinois licensed breeding and boarding facility. We have had an A rating with the Better Business, over 150 5 star reviews on Google and Facebook! We love what we do! We and look forward to welcoming you into the best community ever.

We are a cooperative kennel. What does that mean? On site we breed Toy poodles, Teddy bears, King Charles Cavaliers, Cocker Spaniels, Schnauzers and Doodle breeds. We work with several other family members and a few close friends that breed a few of our dogs. Our Forever families are our guardians that our dogs live with and they love their dogs as much as we do and take great pride in the care that each one receives from them. This allows our parents to live their best life and our wonderful moms to know the joy of motherhood. Our guardian program has been essential in allowing us to continue to offer families vet checked, well socialized happy healthy dogs and we are so very blessed to have them.

Our pups are handled and talked to from the day they are born (as long as mom is ok with it). Once they are weaned from their moms, we begin socializing them with children other dogs and frequently a cat or two will stop by to visit. This is when we begin conditioning them to their crates. Please see our section on crate training.

We have been working at this location full time for the last 15 years before that our kennel was in Plainfield . Our building has gone through many changes in the last 15 years to better accommodate all aspects of running a modern boarding and breeding kennel. Just recently we added private boarding rooms and air purification systems for clients so you can spend some time getting to know our puppies in a clean safe environment before making a 10-15 year commitment this also allows people to see where there furfriend stays while boarding.

We have a great working relationship’s with vets at Glen Ellyn Animal Hospital, Carriage Animal Hospital in Lombard, Animal Care Hospital in Oswego, Huntley Animal Care, Crossroads Animal Hospital in Plainfield Cortland Animal Hospital, Malta veterinary Hospital and Bethany Animal Hospital here in Dekalb . If you purchase a pup from us and live in any of these areas, please ask for their information as we can personally recommend them.

Our Policies

  1. We schedule by appointment 6 days a week allowing for a certain number of appointments daily. Please give us a call 815-545-6733. However, if you want to assure that the breed and gender is available for you on the day you are going to visit, we require a $200 non-refundable deposit. That deposit will go towards the price of your pup. If you come to visit and find that there is not a connection between any of the pups we show you, we can move that deposit to an upcoming litter. You must have an ID in order to prove that it was your credit card the deposit was placed on. You must show up for the appointment. Changing your mind does not warrant a refund. We are closed for sales on Sunday no exceptions.

  2. We welcome your visits and want to allow you as much time as you need to make a decision, however, if you are coming to just "play" with pups to "see" if your children "like" dogs, To check us out or to see if you are allergic we can no longer allow that as it puts our puppies at undue risk of contamination and pulls are short staff off of caring for our animals.

  3. The owner lives on this property and we ask that you are respectful and understand this is private property and invitations can be revoked.

  4. Respect and listen to the staff while visiting. They are here to care and protect the pups and to help you find a perfect match for the puppy and your family. They are very knowledgeable about breeds, care and training.

  5. We have a spay/neuter contract in place. We request that all puppies be spayed/ neutered at the appropriate age that their vet recommends. If you do not agree with how we run our kennel, we respectfully ask that you find another breeder or kennel to work with. We truly feel blessed to help families find wonderful puppies at an affordable price. As a form of payment, we accept cash (of course), Debit Cards, Visa, MC, American Express or Discover. A 2.5% service fee will be added to all charge card and debit card purchases. We no longer accept checks to many bad ones and Paypal Venmo or Zelle their fee’s are outrageous and their full of scams. Being a licensed kennel, the state of Illinois requires us to charge sales tax. The only good news about this is that our tax rate is lower than most of the state. It is 6.25%.

  6. We reserve the right to refuse a sale. We will enact this right if we do not feel you or your family is a good fit for our puppy our family or you are not following staff direction. We have and I’m sure will have to again. We do not want to do this but we will if its in the best interest of the puppy our family or the client with allergies.

Our Spaces

We have luxury suites for boarding smaller furpanions see above picture and sanitized contrete kennels for our larger friends.

As we stated above, we don't board too many at a time. All guests have their own pens on the floor with one of our beds, blankets, toys and bowls. You are welcome to bring your own bed and toys to make them feel more at home. Proof that all vaccines have been kept current at least 2 weeks prior to boarding is required! We will need your credit card information when you schedule. If you do not cancel within 24 hours of your reservation, one day boarding will be charged.

Weather permitting, we have large fenced outside areas to let them play or relax in. If they are social we allow them to play in groups. If they prefer alone time we have large dog runs that allows them their own space but still play and run with friends safely. When weather is bad we have outside sheltered areas and inside play areas.

Prices are based on accommodation chosen. The weight, breed and number of dogs per family determines the per night price. We are not accepting pits, labs or shepherd or mixes of them we love them but our facility is not built for there size and strength. Call for a quote prices start at $40 a night all accommodations include one of our beds, the house food blend and bottled or distilled water and two short walks. Additional walks are $10, videos $10 per video and personal cuddle or playtime $20. We do offer to bathe them on the last day for $40 and ask for afternoon pickup if bathing them. Holidays and spring break book up fast, so don't wait too long for your reservation. There is no tax on boarding as it is a service but the staff loves tips we do add a 2.5% processing fee for credit card payments no checks.
